Boredom is the third track on the Buzzcocks' first release, the Spiral Scratch EP, from 1977. The EP features the original singer, Howard Devoto, who left around the time it was released.
The guitar riff from Boredom is very similar to the intro from the opening track on the first album, Fast Cars.
[Verse 1]
Yeah, well, I say what I mean
I say what comes to my mind
Because I never get around to things
I live a straight, straight line
[Chorus]
You know me, I'm acting dumb
You know the scene, very humdrum
Boredom, boredom
Boredom
[Verse 2]
And now, I'm living in this movie
But it doesn't move me
And I've been waiting for the phone to ring
Hear it ring-a-ring-a-ring, a fucking thing
[Chorus]
You know me, I'm acting dumb
You know the scene, very humdrum
Boredom, boredom
Boredom
[Verse 3]
You see, there's nothing that's behind me
I'm already a has-been, uh
Because my future ain't what it was
Well, I think I know the words that I mean
[Chorus]
You know me, I'm acting dumb
You know the scene, very humdrum
Boredom, boredom
B'dum, b'dum
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 4]
I'm takin' this extravagant journey
Or so it seems to me
I just, uh, came from nowhere
And I'm going straight back there
[Chorus]
You know me, I'm acting dumb, dumb
You know the scene, very humdrum
Boredom, boredom
[Verse 5]
You see, I'm living in this, uh, movie
But it doesn't move me
So tell me, who are you tryna arouse?
Get your hand out of my trousers
[Chorus]
You know me, I'm acting dumb-dumb
You know the scene, very humdrum, drum
Boredom, boredom
Ah
